[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remembering all of the talk about BLC etc….. did the 27s that went to M&D and Hero’s not make Blue or did they just choose to go? Given the most recent rankings definitely an interesting conversation.[/quote]

The BLC players who went on to M&D and Heros did not try out for Capital [/quote]

Wow! Thanks that’s interesting. Curious why they chose not to? Any insight?[/quote]

Don't know if this happened with those girls, but generally when if you move to M&D or Heros, they ask you to practice with them several times in the summer before tryouts and tryouts are often a formality (if they are even held at all).   These girls likely had their offers before Cap tryouts were even held.

I know the Heros attacker from California who joined the same year didn't attend Heros tryouts.[/quote]

If the goal is to play for a top lacrosse school (Top 1-20) Hero’s and M&D are better options. The players are better as well as the coaches compared to Capital. Those two programs do a better job at developing players. If the goal is to go to a high academic school, Capital has the connections and profile to get you there. [/quote]

I can grant you that Hero's and M&D are outstanding clubs with deep connections and long track records with the top lacrosse programs.  And they certainly develop players very well, although I'm not sure what the basis is for claiming they do a "better job". Can also concur, with a lot of supporting evidence, that Capital can support recruiting to a high academic school.

With those three notes given, there are some challenges with the core point of your post.  First, fully 11 of the top 20 lacrosse teams in the final rankings from 2024 are "high academic" schools, including three from the Ivy League (Yale, Penn, Princeton).  Then you add Northwestern, Stanford, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida, UNC, etc.  So there really isn't a sound distinction between "top lacrosse" and "high academic" schools.

If you are just suggesting that Capital has sent a number of players to the Ivy League in recent years, that is true, but they have also had a number of players commit to top 20 schools outside the Ivy League.  All of these clubs have great track records with recruiting.

In terms of "better players" and "better coaches", what is your basis?  Number of 4 and 5 stars?  Hero's and M&D likely outshined by NY there.  And what standard on coaches?[/quote]
